From 2 members to 250 in one year Folklore society grows Friday night coffeehouses, singing meetings, exchanging songs and discounts. That's what the Folklore Society means to Steve Prible, president of the society. He said it could also mean that to the average University student.

Asked whether the presidential order will affect the cases of opposition Liberal senators and other detained persons now before the Supreme Court, Tatad said: "I cannot answer that for the moment. I will have to refer that to the Justice Department." Sens. Benigno Aquino Jr., Ramon Mitra and Jose Diokno, publishers Joaquin P.

That was long ago. Prible said when he took over last winter there were two members. And they didn't know each other. Prible built it to 250 members and said he wants 500. He cited a few advantages to becoming a member. The detention. The court asked them to file memoranda for study. Marcos' order also authorized the tribunal to take sole jurisdiction of crimes involving subversion, espionage, hijacking, rebellion or inciting rebellion and subversion, disloyalty in public office, illegal assemblies and associations, usurpation and abuse of authority, tax evasion, graft and corruption, Tatad added. Marcos also announced he was allowing all Filipinos who have hidden or illegal wealth abroad to declare it for proper tax payments between Sunday and the end of the year without penalties, Tatad said. The sources of this wealth, income, cash or securities abroad will not be questioned provided ap propriate taxes are paid, he added. Tatad said the government is not preventing holdings by Filipinos abroad, but "the idea is to tell them that the days of cheating the govern- Special Prosecutor's Office created in New York City by Gov.

There is no available estimate covering these holdings, Tatad added. Marcos also removed all fees, except inspection fees, for livestock used for food to permit the orderly marketing of • meat, pork and poultry throughout the country, Tatad reported. Tatad announced that the inmates in the national penitentiary have voluntarily surrendered their weapons to prison authorities and volunteered for agricultural production work.

Prible said, "We're trying to make it a little more personal as members go." The $2 membership fee, entitles you to discounts on tickets and some equipment e at-the Music Mart. You get to use the record collection and hear lectures. Asked why someone might enjoy folk music, Prible replied, "It's very personal, expecially when it's done in a small audience." For that reason Prible is considering a move. He would like to see folk concerts in the Kern Building instead of Schwab. Kern is the sight of a Folklore Society coffeehouse every Friday night. The coffeehouses are free, mostly because the performers generally perform for free. There is also free food, although there is a donation box nearby. From 150 to 250 people attend coffeehouses each Friday. One good aspect of those nights, Prible said, is "the campus patrol don't feel they have to come and watch over us." Most of the concerts the society sponsors cost $2 for non-members and $1.50 for members. The first one, and probably the biggest, will be David Bromberg Sunday. They also have John Prine scheduled for Nov. 5. If you're expecting Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez to appear, don't. Prible said the Society works more with traditional folk singers. He added, "There are so many good talented folk-singers, it's a shame they're not more heard of. It's not that they don't have albums; it's that they perform on labels like Folk Legacy and Baboon." The folklore Society is not totally obsessed with membership numbers, although they would like to see more people interested in folk music. Bev Smith, secretary, said, "It's not something you can sell to everybody, because everybody's not interested." They would rather see 150 active members. As an extra added at traction this year, Prible said the organization is con sidering a belching, burping and spitting contest. After all, he said, "It's a country thing to do." Burping will probably be in two divisions: car bonated and uncarbonated, he said. Cursing will be in 15 second sprints. Memberships go on sale today and the first meeting will be at 8 p.m. Thursday in 101 Kern. If you join, maybe you'll get a copy of their newsletter. RS Kids' classes The College of Health, Physical Education and Recreation will offer games and gymnastics classes for children of University faculty and staff and townspeople beginning Thursday. Registration will be held between 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. today and tomorrow in 105 White Building. Cherokee Indians angry about grave plundering CHEROKEE, N.O (AP) Anger is rising on this western North Carolina reservation over what some Cherokee Indian leaders say is the plundering of ancestral graves by artifacthunting archaeologists. The scientists say, however, they are rushing to uncover arid preserve Indian relics and heritage that will be lost forever when a Ten nessee Valley Authroity dam floods them in a few years. The TVA is funding the digging of Alfred K. Guthe, director of the McClung Museum at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, and his university crew. The site in question is in Tennessee, an old Cherokee Indian village and fort near Tellico Plans, about 100 miles west of Cherokee, nestled in the watershed of the Little Tennessee River. Vice Chief John Crowe of the eastern band of Cherokees contends archaeologists are plundering the graves of his forefathers and that the TVA is "flooding a whole race of people's history and heritage off the map." A TVA spokesman, however, says the reason they are funding the digging is precisely so that won't happen. Tribal councilman Jonathan L. Taylor says the Cherokees oppose the entire The Daily Collegian Monday, October 2, 1972- Tellico slari - ; project and that more, than half the 8,000 In- Mails in his reservation have signed a petition demanding a halt to it The Indians have appealed to Tennessee Gov. Winfield Dunn for help and will meet with him in Nashville today. The delegation will include, besides Crowe, Principal Chief Noah Powell and several other Cherokee tribal councilmen. There is little chance at this point, Taylor said, of suc ceeding in halting the project What the Cherokees want, he said, is to make sure that in future situations, "and they will arise again," that "we are consulted and that our wishes are given some weight."

"I prefer not to talk about it until after we meet with the governor today " So far, diggers have un covered more than 500,000 Indian artifacts since they began sifting through the dirt around Tellico in 1967, ac cording to Guthe
